Anyone NOT doing BLW?

Question

If so why?
My sons had a few BLW meals now and I'm just so nervous every time and last night he had cauliflower and didn't choke but threw up and it terrified him. Im wondering if u should just do purees. 
If I just do purees until age 1 do they magically become better eaters at 1 or are they still going to gag and choke a lot?

Answer

I'm not! Makes me too nervous!

Answer

I’m doing purées but occasionally offer food if we’re having something I’m comfortable offering him. I’m taking it slow as each time I’ve offered something he basically spits it out. He likes his purées and is good with all flavors so far, so the texture of other food he’s just not into yet. I’m not forcing it. It’s a process and he’ll get there when he’s ready. For now I’ll just keep offering sometimes but I’m not worried over it.

Answer

Purée all day in our house!
The odd time he will get something directly off my plate but he gets his own meal. He does like his Mum mums or a baby food freezer pop that we put into those mesh feeder things.

Answer

I’m not doing it 😊

Answer

We're mostly doing purees but if it's soft/mushy enough I'll let play/eat some blw-style like ripe bananas, or sticks of veggies cooked until really soft. She's more interested in being fed than feeding herself so we're waiting to see if she'll show more interest as she gets a little older. She'll open her mouth and reach her head forward when she sees a spoonful of puree, but only won't try to feed herself.
So, she gets purees for breakfast/lunch and I usually give her some blw stuff at supper (which usually ends up in the dog's belly instead of hers 😝) just to gauge if she's developing any interest in it, but follow it with a little puree.

Answer

I'm not. I never heard of BLW until people on here started talking about it. I'm super cautious and afraid of allergies and choking. I'll still give him some things if I'm eating it. Like I had some cooked broccoli the other day and I gave him a small piece.

Answer

We’re not! Solely because I’m terrified of choking. So far we’re just working through trying lots of foods in purée form. I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to try non puréed foods, but definitely not until he’s sitting better.

Answer

I was so wanting to do it before he was born and I was all about it. But not going to lie I’m TERRIFIED!!!! He is 7mo and we are definitely going to wait a lot longer before we try. It’s so scary to me and my husband. Even though I’m a nurse and know exactly what to do if he starts choking but I don’t ever want to have to do that to my kid.

Answer

I’m not. We are mainly sticking with purées at this point, although my daughter does like to feed herself with the spoon sometimes so we have the grabease utensils - she is a really dexterous baby. My doctor suggested against blw and said that many of the skills that are believed to be benefits of blw, are easily achieved through play and activities that we already do. This being said, I will probably introduce some finger foods in maybe a month or two when she is closer to 8 months.
